Could Clear, Mucusy Discharge Be Mucus Plug Coming Out Or Water Breaking?

i am due on feb 1st and today have noticed when I use the restroom an increase in a clearish mucusy discharge when i wipe. I always have a little bit of a whitish discharge and i just keep a panty liner in. But when I wipe it i fills/covers the toilet paper, both times i went pee this morning. is this my mucus plug coming out or is my water slowly breaking or should i not be concerned?

Hi, thanks for writing.. I understand your concern..
Clear whitish discharge which is continuously filling the toilet paper can be leaking. Get a check up with your doctor to know whether its high leaking or low rupture of membranes. If its just he mucus plug nothing to worry. But if its a leaking ,treatment is required based on the amount of fluid leaked. Hope I have answered your queries. Good day.
